BoiIs and CarbunCIes,

which defy ordinary treatment, yield to
Ayers Sarsaparilla after a comparative
1y brief trial.
Mr.. G. X. Murray, of Charlottesville,
Va, writes that for years he was af-
ficted with boils which caused him
much suffering. These were succeeded
by carbuncles, of which he had several
at one time. He then began the use of
Ayers Sarsaparilla, and after taking
three bottles, the carbuncles disap-
peared, and for six years he has not had
even pimple.
That insidious disease, Scrofula, is
the fruitful cause of innumerable COM
plants, Consumption being only one of
many equally fatal. Eruptions, ulcers,
sore eyes, glandular swellings, weak
and wasted muscles, capricious appe-
tite, and the like, are pretty sure indi-
cations of scrofulous faint in the
system. Many otherwise beautiful faces
are disfgured by pimples, eruptions,
and unsightly blotches, which arise
from impure blood showing the need of
Ayers Sarsaparilla to remedy the evil.
All sufferers from blood disorders
shoald give Ayers Sarsaparilla a fair
trial, "a avoiding all powders, ointments,
and washes, and especially cheap and
worthless compounds, which not only
fail to effect a cure, but more frequently
aggravate and confirm the diseases they
are fraudulently advertised to remedy.

passes lady, though a stranger, in the hall
of a hotel, on the stair, or if he does her any
little service such as restoring her fan or

whom his acquaintance saIutes but does not

Gentlemen remove their hats in hotel
elevators when ladies are present. A recent

The Weight Of women,s Gowns.

"What is the normal weight of a gown
This question was recently asked of a New
York nlodiste, by New York woman and
was answered with the aid of the scales. A
black silk reception costume that glittered
with jet sequins was first put to the proof. 1t
tipped the beam at thirty-four pounds. a
companion gown, like unto the first, but re-
joicing in train, and yet more brilliant with
jet owned unblushingly to an ayoirdupOis of
forty-nine pounds. An examination into the
mysteries of their construction was resorted
to in order to discover just where this weight
came in. It lay somewhat in the draperies,
somewhat in the multtudinous bones and
steels, TO some extent in the balls of lead that
were deliberately hung to the bodice and
concealed about the skirt TO hold its in
tricacies in place, and most of all in the Jet
that made of the whole array a full defensive
panoply, bullet proof.
Walking dresses were also tested with the
following results: A tailor made gown Of fine
wool, with killed skirt, but wholly without
adventitiOus trimmings, very Cinderella Of
a Lenten robe, weighed twelve pounds. Fiji
teen, seventeen and nineteen were the figures
of three others respectively. No kind of a
dress was found that weighed short of ten
pounds, and yet fashionable women who wear
fashionable gowns are seldom known to com
plain Of the weight Of c dress, though their
doctors bills prove how serious are the results
Of such unnatural and uncalled for strain
upon their nerves and strength.

Keep the Hands Soft.

The toughest and hardest Of hands can be
made soft and white in a months time by
doctoring them little ut bedtime A little
ammonia or bOrax in the water you wash
your hands with, and that water just luke
warm, will keep the skin clean and soft. A
little oatmeal mixed with the water will
whiten he hands. Many people use glycerine
on their hands when they go to bed, wearing
gloves to keep the bedding clean; but glycer-
inc makes some skins harsh and red. These
people should rub their hands with dry oat-
meal and wear gloves in bed The best
preparation for the hands at night is white Of
egg with grain of alum dissolved in it.

Manners and Customs Practiced in Po-
lite Society.
Many weary guest and equally weary
host or hostess have sat up long past their
usual hour for going to bed because each
feared to appear impolite by making the first
move to retire The guest is perhaps fatigued
by journey and really suffers, but strives to
endure and be agreeable. The hostess, worn
ont with the strain of entertaining, stiles her
yeswns. Both continue the heavy task of
STIR ing to make conversation, in the hope
that chance will solve the difficulty that
neither knows how to grapple with The
true rule to be followed, were they but GER
Sein of it, is a natural and hospitable one
The host or hostess takes the initiative and
says an appropriate word as to the lateness of
the hour and the desirability of retiring.

should be sent, and all the invitations go
from the lady's family. The bride writes a
note OF thanks before she leaves home to all

her husbands relatives and friends and her

those feople whom she does not know, but
whose gifts have arisen from regard for her

and sure. More than once he used pistol
and knife to the hurt Of individuals, but
was always fortunate enough 10 escape

deeper into dissipation, which has at last
terminated in an unfortunate affair, the

Addressing Letters to Ladies.

The Hartford Courant has an anx-
ious inquirer who asks: "When one
receives business letter from n wom-
an signed, for instance, Catharine j..
Smythe, how should one address the
replyP 1t is not possible to know
whether to say Miss or Mrs, and to say
either is to be liable to blunder." The
Courant replies:
Don't say either, then. Address
Catharine J. Smythe as such. Assume
that, as she signed that way, that is
the way she wants to be addressed.
But, when it comes to beginning your
letters, 20 slow. You can't call her
Dear Madame, for she may not be
madame at all, and to call her Dear
Catharine would be rash, to say the
least. 1t is always possible that there
may be a forgotten Mr.. Smythe In re-
serve somewhere, and in that you
might regret your decision. Just write
her name and 90 on with your letter.
leaving the dear part out altogether.
1t is only tionallty oil poiiCe-
ness, and there is no politeness in the
signature that has been sent to you.
Moreover, the well-informed lady in
writing to a stranger preiixes Mrs"
or Miss" to her signature for the In
formation OF her correspondent.
The Courant is doubtless right IN
it's advice. Still, we believe that in
some localities, ut least, custom per-
mits person to address any lady as
madam, which, by the way, is English,
though madame is not.

"Jack" Washing His Clothes

From the Naval Gazette.
It is one OF the customs OF the navy
Tor the crews to get out dirty clothes
on three days OF the week, Monday
Wednesday and Friday, and scrub
them. There is neither washer-wom'
an nor Chinaman on shipboard to
look after Jacks clothing, whether
Jack be young or old. The washing
is got onto the line before breakfast,
and it is always well done, for an
officer is always on deck to look after
such things. The garment to be scrub
bed is usually laid on deck; water Is
poured on it, then it is soaped, and
then scrubbed with bursh. 1t IS
rinsed by pouring more water on 1t.
At sea salt water Is used. In the navy
yard there are handy hydrants along
the docks. When the clothes have
been rinsed and strung along the line
the decks must be washed down TO get
the soapsuds and dirt of, and by
that time 1T is about 8 o'clock, at
which hour the clothes-bags must be
slowed away and the decks in order,
for, rain or shine, year in and year
out. the men are sent to breakfast at
the stroke OF the bell when 8 O'Clock
arrives.

Far In the night, and yet no rest
For himl The pillow next his own
The sweet wife, face in slumber pressed
And he awake alone-alone!
In vain no courted sleep-one thought
Would ever in his mind arise;
His harsh words that at noon had brought
Tho ear-drops to her eyes.
Slowly on lifted arm he raises
And listened. All was sun as
death;
He touched her forehead as he gazed,
He listened yet, with bated breath;
Still silently, as though he prayed,
His lips moved lightly as she slept
For God was with him and he laid
His face with hers and wept.
